Hello Members,
Welcome to the 2025 Dance Season! We had an amazing Country Dance World Championships in Orlando and are looking forward to next January in Phoenix. We hope to see you both at regional events this season and in Phoenix.
Here are some updates and new divisions. Those updates done this year are highlighted in yellow. Any updates from previous years are not highlighted.
- We have added Couples Platinum.
- Line Honky Tonk may wear club attire.
- Line Starter Divisions need only one event to be eligible for Worlds and may not wear bling on their costumes.
- Last fall we had a few changes. Here is the link to that announcement in case you missed it.
This short list of highlights is not intended to include all the changes or be a substitute for reading the published rules.
The full rules are available at www.ucwdc.org/rules.
Just like driving a car or playing football/futbol, you need to know the rules. Take some time to read the document(s) that are relevant to your dance journey. Please reach out to me at rules@ucwdc.org if you have questions or need further explanation.
Wishing you the very best in this new Dance Season,
Beth Emerson | VP Rules
